    Germany. And if you think about it France belongs to Germany too. It was part of the Frankish empire, which was created by Germanic Franks. Its name is derived from it.

    People lived there for thousands of years before there was a France or Germany.  Much of Europe's changing borders are about wars and arbitrary power politics more than who belongs where or who owns what.
